Chapter 37 Recruitment
"Meet the master, meet the master" The golden roof is extremely empty, echoing endlessly, superimposed before and after, as if there are tens of thousands of people shouting.
Lin Tao closed his eyes when he heard this, and felt quietly, no wonder that since ancient times, in order to climb to the highest place, they have tried their best to succeed one after another, it turns out that this supreme feeling is so wonderful
In the main hall, Lin Tao looked down at a stack of files, and suddenly raised his head and asked, "There are only a few thousand inner disciples in Emei now, and there are less than 20,000 outer disciples stationed in other places. I see that this Mount Emei is very empty, why don't you recruit more disciples. ”
Lin Tao asked this question, because he heard the female disciple say that there are many people who come to Emei to worship the mountain, and he thinks that with the name of Emei, even if it was before, there should be many people who admired it, but there are only so many disciples in the past hundred years, so he can't figure it out, is Emei so high in terms of accepting disciples?
Jingxu, who was standing next to him, heard Lin Tao's question, a trace of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he said casually: "Of course, it's because there is no money." Eating and drinking for thousands of people is already a lot of money, and this is the case in Shaolin Wudang! ”
Lin Tao was stunned for a moment, he never thought that the reason would be this, since entering this martial arts world, he has never thought about money. In fact, he was never short of money. At this time, after Jingxu's reminder, Lin Tao remembered that although the rivers and lakes are arrogant, they can't escape the fetters of red dust, and personal consumption and power consumption are completely different things.
Take the Emei sect as an example, its disciples are divided into three categories, the elite class of upper court disciples, these disciples are tasked with cultivating every day, or go out to perform some master tasks.
The second category is the lower court disciples, most of whom are male disciples, not only can these disciples not learn any advanced martial arts, but also have to do some crop work every day to plow the land and grow vegetables.
The third category is the outer disciples, these disciples do not belong to the Emei faction, and generally can only learn some of the most superficial kung fu, without being subject to Emei's control, but usually need to carry out some filial piety to Emei.
And the eating, drinking, and going out of the Emei sect's disciples are only left with the donation of pilgrims. This is also a common problem of the big faction, cherishing feathers and disdainful of using some small means to bind themselves by themselves.
On the contrary, those small sects do not have so many scruples, and the ways to get money are very wide, they are not short of money, but they lack masters, martial arts, and prestige. As a result, the rivers and lakes have reached a delicate balance, and no sect will become big alone.
Thinking of this, Lin Tao couldn't help but shake his head, how could he carry forward the sect with such conformism, and immediately said: "Jingxu, pass on my order to release the news that the Mongolian army is about to attack, and at the same time open the mountain gate, all those who want to join Emei, we will accept all the orders, and all of them will be recorded as temporary outer disciples." ”
"If you make meritorious contributions and become official outer disciples, you can obtain the complete "Chong Void Nourishing Qi Decision", and the rest, wait until the end of the war, and then reward the meritorious deeds. When the time comes, the disciples of the upper and lower academies, regardless of men, will only talk about merit, and those who are capable will live in it. ”
Jingxu wrote down everything Lin Tao said, hesitated for a moment and said: "Master, is it a bit inappropriate to teach the "Chong Void and Nourishing Qi Decision", then "Chong Void and Nourishing Qi Decision" is an exercise practiced by the disciples of the lower courtyard of this sect, although it is not clever, but it can also be regarded as a real internal strength and heart method, which is more clever than the exercises of some small sects, so it is easy to teach each other."
This is not to blame for being quiet and talkative, people in the rivers and lakes often regard the exercises more important than life, and the internal strength and heart method are never lightly taught. In the past, Emei at most gave those outer disciples some methods of spitting, which was enough for them to be ecstatic, and most of them could only get some fist moves.
The people in the rivers and lakes seem to be integrated into ordinary people, but in fact, there is still a clear boundary, not everyone can easily step into the circle of the rivers and lakes, but Lin Tao's move is a bit of a break in the rules of the rivers and lakes.
However, the rule is that the dead are alive, and the so-called troubled times should be re-enacted, and now that the army is pressing, Lin Tao wants others to work for him, so he naturally wants to take a little advantage.
However, those disciples of the lower courtyard were a little unfair, so Lin Tao added: "I remember that there is a sword book in this sect called "Shangqing Sword Technique", so I will give it to the disciples of the lower court!" ”
"Ayo!" Jingxu snorted and couldn't help but say: "Master, this 'Shangqing Sword Technique' is the highest sword technique of my Emei faction, which is divided into nine styles, and the disciples of the upper courtyard can only learn the first three styles, the elders can practice the first six styles, and only the master can cultivate completely." "The Shangqing Sword Technique, which she herself has not yet learned, is going to be handed over to the disciples of the lower court.
Lin Tao saw Jingxu's unwilling look, and said: "In my opinion, this "Shangqing Sword Technique" is just a second-rate exercise, since everyone has not learned it all, let's learn it together." ”
Seeing that Jingxu seemed to want to say something, Lin Tao hurriedly added: "Don't worry, I still have better sword techniques, and when this battle is over, I will teach it to the disciples and elders of the upper courtyard." ”
Hearing Lin Tao say this, Jingxu happily turned around and walked out. People are like this, they don't suffer from widowhood but unevenness, if they want to let an elder in Jingxu learn the same complete swordsmanship as the disciples of the upper and lower courts, it is estimated that she would rather maintain the status quo.
Maybe it's because he admires the prestige of the Emei faction, maybe it's because he covets the exercises promised by the Emei faction, or maybe it's for the sake of eating. After the edict was issued, the effect was quickly apparent, and a large number of young disciples poured into Emei, as if the 300,000 imperial court men who were gathering did not exist, and there were even many people who rushed to hear the news.
In fact, Lin Tao underestimated the attraction of the Emei party to those secular people, in this world, the status of the Han people is very low, and there are too many people who can't eat. Where can I find good things like this, where can I not only eat but also learn the wisdom of the exercises. As for going to war, it's better to die on the battlefield than to starve to death.
Therefore, in less than two days, there were nearly 200,000 people who registered with the disciples, and the entire foot of Mount Emei was surrounded by water.
"Boss, the situation is not good, these 200,000 people consume too much food every day, and they can't supply it at all, and they huddle together, one tent on the left, another tent, there is no order at all."
Lin Tao said disapprerovingly: "They are just temporary outer disciples, why should we take care of the food?" Tell them that we will only be in charge of the food if we become true outer disciples, but the opportunity to make meritorious contributions will soon be available, so let them not be in a hurry. As for order, what kind of order do you think this temporary strong man can have? ”
"Zhuangding?" Jingxu shook his head and said: "There are not many strong men, not only the old man in his eighties, but also the young child of a few years old, often a family of five or six generations sign up at the same time, and the real man in the prime of life is afraid that it is less than two percent." ”
Lin Tao was dumbfounded and said, "What are you doing here, old man and child?" Can such a person go into battle? ”
Jingxu looked dazed: "Didn't the head of the house say that all those who want to join Emei, will we accept all the orders?" ”
Lin Tao: ""
